(1.10) Oracle last week unveiled a new management pack for Linux, in essence beefing up the Red Hat support offering Oracle announced last October. Do you think there is a demand for such a management pack, and do you think Oracle's Linux support offering will be successful?

(9:40) What are some of the most common Oracle security mistakes in your opinion?

(12:10) You mentioned in a recent discussion that DBAs tend to rely to heavily on the Export tool for backup and recovery. What is the proper way to backup the Oracle Database?
